In the chiropractic field, a handshake is not enough to mitigate risks like patient injury claims or insurance billing disputes. Under O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, Georgia is an at-will state, but a robust employment contract ensures your practice is protected by the Georgia Restrictive Covenants Act while defining the specific scope of spinal adjustments, X-ray protocols, and treatment plans. This document helps you maintain compliance with the Georgia Board of Chiropractic Examiners and HIPAA regulations.
